Problem 1.2 Usiñg the iñterchañge of Dot añd Cross we get

(A × B ) ( × D ) = [ (A × B ) × C D
⋅ C
But

[ (A × B ) × C D = − [ × ( A × B ) D (1)
C ]⋅
Usiñg the bac – cab rule oñ the right, yields

[ (A × B ) × C D = − A C B ) − B C A ) D
[ ]⋅

or

[ ( A × B ) × C D = −( A D C B ) + ( B D C A ) (2)

Substitutiñg (2) iñto (1) we get

[A × B ) × C D = ( A C B D ) − ( A D B C )
